Some people just don’t get it.
They seem to be completely adverse to the notion of a “baby God,” born in a stable, to bring peace to the world.
Maybe it sounds too much like a “hippie philosophy,” or reeks of humanism. I don’t know. But this is what I’m sure of–or at least, convinced of in my own mind: God didn’t cheat.
When He decided that a more human approach was necessary to convey His love and message, He put Himself through the entire process, beginning with birthing, circumcision and diaper rash.
The story of Jesus is not a supernatural one. It is a naturally superone.
It isn’t God stuffed inside the skin of a human being, but rather, a human being who allowed God to come in.
On this Advent Sunday, which welcomes in the Christmas season, some individuals will remind you that the most important thing about the Christ is his death, to bring us salvation for our sins. They are so anxious to nail Jesus that they’re willing to tear apart the bassinet in order to build the cross.
But as the prophet said, “Unto us a child is born.”
Yes. It’s for us.
Jesus was a little brother who took the hard knocks of human life without exception, to become our older brother. But it all began with Mama’s milk, burping, and a helluva lot of crying.
I love Christmas because it reminds us that God didn’t take any shortcuts in finding a path to become one of us–even choosing to be conceived, born and becoming a child needing to grow in wisdom, stature and in favor with everyone.
So Merry Christmas. And in this season, stop looking for the supernatural and find magnificent ways … to make the natural more super.
